Daily News: Big Apple still loves the Yankees best - except in Queens, poll finds

Among the New Yorkers who expressed interest in big-league baseball, more than half - 56% - pledged alliance to the Bronx Bombers and only a third said they root for the Mets, a Quinnipiac poll found.

In a theoretical Subway Series, the Yanks are fan favorites, 55% to 42%, holding an edge in every borough but Queens, where the Amazin’s play.

This is validating - most people are idiots, so I’m happy to be in the minority on this one. Also - Strong Island.

And what would the results of this poll have been in, say, 1988?

2000 World Series, Game Four, top of the first, Jeter leads off with a home run and gets a decent-sized cheer. In Shea Stadium.

That's what you call an polling analysis indicator.

Is that really an interesting fact, Gonfalon? The stadiums are about 7 miles from one another.
